Here we go:

1985 300CD
2 - door
5 - cyl. TURBO diesel
Metallic dark grey
Automatic
Rear wheel drive
AC works
decent radio, speakers amp
Power windows/mirrors
sunroof
Body in excellent condition (there are dings and scratches as expected but not much - no rust. chrome good)
Motor runs pretty good as well
black leather interior is pretty good as well
have service / technical manuals
450KM on the clock - just broken in for a MB diesel
The Mercedes needs following work though:

BAD:
charging problem (problem with charging circuit & interior lights are dim - has new alternator already- possibly new alternator was a bad rebuild)
badly needs front tie rod ends
was told it may need two rear axles (mechanic says they are dry)
1 dented rim (matching spare is OK)
glove box does not close properly
normal wear on interior - no big booboos though
2 bad tires, 2 passable tires
needs a tune-up - smokes for the first couple minuites
Other than that - it's a real nice car - surely not a basket case

previous owner drove it for 4 years with too little maintanance so expect to get new brakes, flush fluides etc...

It runs and drives right now but will need the work to be certified.

my brother-in-law (current owner) does not have the time or the place to do everything that needs to be done so this has to go to make room for some other car ready to drive thats automatic - open for trades

Please reply quickly if interested. Car is in Markham, Ontario, Canada.

here are some more pics....
